Thanks @powerspowers yes nearly there. Last day of the Easter holidays and went for a beautiful walk in the bluebells. Definitely appreciate good walks and picnics more now and always grateful to have saved the money a restaurant/ cafe would have cost!1

So a rather late June updated!
21 more days of school to go hurrah! Can't wait for the long holidays. Work has been full on this year.
Had a nice cheap air BnB trip in the half term. Was very impressed and would definitely do again. Reasonable price as we didn't go to a super well known destination.
